Now originally when May Vs Devon was teased people thought it sucked as a fight, prior to Devon being beaten by Shawn Porter.
So if Devon were to beat Amir Khan handily, would he then deserve a fight with Floyd Mayweather?
And if not who can Floyd fight in May?
If not Devon, Pacquiao, Khan
Also would that make Khan a legit opponent for Mayweather if he were to beat Devon Alexander?
I don't think Alexander will be considered for Floyd no matter what happens against Khan.
He's not exciting, not easy to root for, not hate-able either. PPV numbers would suck.
Alexander all of a sudden was trying to be controversial, talking about Chinese restaurant owners and whatnot, talking about Mayweather not fighting black fighters etc That for me seems like someone who has been told say these things. Then the Khan fight got announced then everything made sense (Beat Khan and you get Mayweather).
NO, I think the winner of Khan vs Alexander should then fight Kell Brook for that IBF Title...WINNER OF THAT GETS MAYWEATHER! Would at least make the match more intriguing if one of them had a belt or something.
Moving the goal post much? Interesting cuz I remember you saying Khan should fight Thurman to deserve Mayweather, yet when he takes on a much more proven name in Alexander all of a sudden Khan also needs a title. The fact is Khan doesn't need a belt to challenge Mayweather, just a notable win.
If it wasn't for his religious obligations he would've gotten it in September already.
This right here....this fight should be leading to a fight with Brook, not Floyd...
2 wins, Diaz (coming off a draw against Porter) and Collazo (coming off a KO win over Ortiz and top 10 ranked at WW).
If he beats Devon, he should be the leading contender to face Floyd.
I think Khan has the style to give Mayweather Nightmares.
If he was left handed, maybe...
As he is Khan wins 3-4 rounds tops.
And none of those rounds would be in the second half of the fight.

Khan isn't smart enough to trouble Floyd for more than a couple of rounds.

It's hard to argue a case against this.
The holder of the IBF belt should face Floyd - it makes adds a bit more to any credibility for the fight.
I am not sure if Devon has been calling out Floyd, but Khan does it non stop.
Khan only has one win at 147 so I believe he should get a belt to legitimize his claim. At least Devon has a few more wins at 147 already.
In reality I don't think that Khan, Garcia or Alexander are going to trouble Floyd that much if he fought them. And I don't think any of those fights would be entertaining.

This fight is for Khan to legitimatize his claim as a Mayweather opponent if May/PAC don't happen in May ,
If Alexander pulls it off then yeah he deserves the fight but won't get it because he has 63 fans and their mostly all Floyd fans too, he doesn't bring any $ Or interest to the table.

Devon already has victories over Lucas Matthysse and Marcos Maidana... if he gets a win over Amir Khan i think he is def worthy of a Floyd Mayweather Jr fight but i doubt that would ever happen.
Lucas got robbed vs Alexander. It was a 10 round fight, Lucas even scored a knockdown and the fans in St. Louis was even booing the decision. That was Alexander second gift in St. Louis. First being Kotelnik.
I dare Floyd to fight Alexander and think that will be able to compete with Cotto vs Canelo. Showtime won't go thru with it. They're already losing money with no competition when Floyd fights. So to go up against a big Puerto Rico vs Mexico with that showdown, on cinco de mayo with that fight, not gonna happen. Would be a disaster.

Floyd will never fight Devon. Its a fight that cant sell. Floyd only fights boxers with a strong fan base
or ones with controversy and some hype
Devon has ZERO hype
If Khan losses to Devon, Floyd will offer a lot of money to Danny Garcia to step up to 147...
I dont see any other options for Floyd at 147
Devon should 100% not get a Mayweather fight for beating Khan. Him beating Khan would only confirm that Khan never deserved to be mentioned as a Mayweather opponent, it does nothing to enhance Alexander's worthiness.
Is there even the slightest chance that Floyd-Devon wouldn't be an appalling spectacle?
Why would it be appalling?
People need to stop pitting Floyd against aggressive plodders. He will just run, potshot, run, clinch, demand a huge ring and Bayless. It's getting tiring.
Why not give him someone who he can comfortably stand with in the middle of the ring so he doesn't have to run? You might not believe fireworks would ensue.
